But as someone who fits into both camps who recently spent an hour with the developers kicking Deadite ass (and kicking ass as Deadites), I can happily report that Saber Interactive has pulled it off. But on top of that, transcending the medium of film and television and adapting it into a gaming genre as volatile as asymmetrical multiplayer? One would naturally question how Saber Interactive could possibly appease every possible audience with EVIL DEAD: THE GAME, from veteran film fans to savvy gamers who want a unique and engaging experience. The idea of synthesizing all of the moving pieces of the Evil Dead series into one cohesive package is one vicious, behemoth Deadite in itself. Neil remarked in his retrospective of Duke 3D how the era of action films that Duke parodied has slipped away, leaving Duke now feeling out of place. Given the response to DNF and Duke’s hiatus (aside from a few cameo appearances), the question of whether we’ll see everyone’s favourite alien-stomping one-liner machine again is still out there. I hope this somehow resurrects this version of the game by showing the world how awesome it would have been…” “The whole team that worked with me deserves to see this released into the wild. “In 2008, when I was working for the good folks at Janimation in Dallas Tx, we were hired by Gearbox to create a vertical slice (an animated version of what the game will look like) for the game ‘Duke Nukem Begins’, a Duke origin story,” says Punchatz. The game was eventually shuttered due to legal issues, but not before a trailer had been produced teasing the prequel.ĭirector Gregor Punchatz, who also worked as a modeler on the original Doom games and Rise of the Triad, had previously leaked bits and pieces of the trailer back in 2019, but has now uploaded the whole thing to his YouTube channel. So, why are we talking about it? Well, during this whole nightmare, Gearbox had in the works a prequel for Duke Nukem 3D entitled Duke Nukem Begins. Yes, Duke’s follow-up to the seminal Duke Nukem 3D went through several years of development, two developers, and several fans’ tolerance levels before finally being released to middling reviews in 2011. When posters in the thread spotted it, x0r responded saying “not just the editor, we will be releasing the full source code too.If you’ve been following gaming over the past couple of decades, you’re probably aware of Duke Nukem Forever. Later on in the thread, they say “there is no complete game, It was never finished.”Ī screencap posted by x0r also shows off a level editor. A huge chunk is playable, a huge chunk is block-outs with no enemies. In the thread, they say “almost every chapter is present in some form. While the validity of all this could be disputed, this is the most we’ve ever seen of 3D Realm’s Duke Nukem Forever The original poster of the thread, going by x0r_jmp has also divulged some details of what they have. However today, May 9th, a 4chan thread has cropped up with videos and screenshots of the cancelled DNF. Shown off at E3 2001, neither Gearbox nor 3D realms has said much of this original version other than it was allegedly 90% complete. The leaker is teasing that they’ll release the game and its source code in June And yes, it does look better than the Duke Nukem Forever we gotīefore Gearbox unleashed the bland mess that is Duke Nukem Forever upon the world, 3D Realms had their own version of it.
